A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.

RULES:

  1. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.

  2. Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.

  3. Follow Piefed.social rules.

Explanation: Both Carthage in the Second Punic War, and the Japanese Empire in WW2, attempted to defeat their enemy by stunning military victories, rather than achieving the political goals the war was started over, or destroying the enemy's capacity to continue waging war.

Neither won their war.

... confused process and goal a bit there, I think.
